Yes, let's not get too political. But since it's been brought up, it strikes me that absolutely every political leader that has come to be known by the moniker "the Great" is likely to be thought of as something much less flattering by someone else. This is true for earlier leaders of Russia (Ivan III -- ask the Novgorodians; Peter I -- ask the Swedes and Turks; Catherine II -- ask the Poles), and for literally everyone else everywhere else, from Sargon to Rameses II, from Cyrus to Alexander, from Charlemagne to Frederick II. Each can be seen as hateful to someone. And one Roman emperor, Leo I, was actually known to his own subjects as "the Great" and as "the Butcher," for different reasons. I'm no fan of relativism, and I'm not inclined to either excuse Putin's actions or yet another questionable choice of product naming by a Chinese company producing action figures in our scale. But it does make me think.
